Not good enough to podium and it’s all the fault of a trans person that was equally not good enough to podium.

Was this the same swimmer that John Oliver talked about in his trans athletes episode?

Here’s a neat podcast about that. She really does suck tho, lol. The ending is also pretty great. It turns out being good at a sport is completely decoupled from gender, and no one knows what makes people good.

There you have it. She interviews about as well as she swims. We didn’t get an answer to our question, but we can safely assume Riley sucks shit at every other sport she’s ever played. This is really fine work.

Riley Gains is an ironic name for someone who loses so much

She doesn’t care about trans people. She was initially supportive, but shifted to extreme rhetoric when faced with truckbeds filled with money to act like a bigot on tv. If anything, that’s actually worse.
